Abstract

The article discusses the transformation of Route 590 in Irondequoit, New York, from a two-lane state highway into the local roadway Sea Breeze Drive, which uses four traffic roundabouts. It states that Sea Breeze Drive is the biggest public works project in the history of Irondequoit, in which the general contractor was Sealand Contractors Corp. Mark McAnany of consulting engineer Bergmann Associates says that the replacement of standard intersections improved traffic flow.
